What's the weirdest baby name?

Specialties Ob/Gyn Nursing Q/A

Hi, I was wondering about some of those weird names that you've probably encountered in L&D and PP. I remember when I had my maternity rotation a couple of weeks ago, one of the nurses said she remembers a patient that named her child Placenta. I couldn't believe it that some child has to live his life named after disgusting afterbirth!

sry, ruby, my grandmas name too I meant it with no rudeness- after all- my name is on the 'weird' list too...lol

No darlin' - that does NOT make you lame! On her birth certificate, school records, drivers' license (some day) and so on - her name is JESSICA. You can spell Jessy with a "y" if you like - Jesse is traditionally the masculine spelling (aka Jesse James), and the "y" or "ie" is interchangable for girls. It's more in how you pronounce it than how you spell a nickname - it's how you SPELL given names that makes their lives hell on earth........and it's the ones who put y's everywhere but where they DON'T belong who are having self-identity issues and are foisting them off on their children! This, in my book, makes YOU perfectly normal! LOL :D

Actually, my twins are Jessica and James. Jessy and James. :D I always make sure to say James and Jessy so to avoid that reference. Or we also call him Jay. We just really liked the names.

Had a neighbor growing up named Candie Barr

and my husband SWEARS he knew a Harry Butt

while he was growing up!:lol2:

My maiden name was Butt. (actually that came up a few pages back!) Before everyone had caller ID and *69, we would get prank phone calls for "Harry" all the time. We also got calls for Anita, Seymour, and a few others I can't remember just now. Not any real original kids out there. No one by those actual names in my family though. My dad did have a cousin who changed his last name to Butler because he was marrying a woman named Candy. ;)

Also another family child names were King and Urmajesty. Amazing !!!!????

Thing is, calling a child "King" or "Your Majesty" or something similar is NOT generally a term of endearment!

Ask me how I know this.

I had a lady during clinicals name her son:

Jed - I - Knight

my cousins name is sean

pronounced see on

twins girls:

summer & cloud

This is actually nice - I like it alot, because it shows some thought and consideration on the part of the mother - Twin Girls - Melody and Harmony.

This is actually not too nice - I don't like it because it shows a complete lack of critical thinking skills on the part of the parents - once again twins, but this time boys - Levi and Garrett. (that's an old brand name for chewing tobacco, in case you were wondering.) Individually, that's fine. Levi is a nice name, and so is Garrett - but together...........

When I was a new nurse, we would give a medication called Deladumone to suppress lactation.

I explained the medication to the new mother, and do you know how she responded?

"Deladumone, I like that name. Yep, thats what I'm going to name her".

Yes, one of the many reasons I love being a nurse ! Every day is unique !
